Did a little more shopping this evening. It's what happens when I'm let loose in Target ALONE
. I had 2 1/2 hours of ME time this evening....DH is out of town and DD was at a birthday party (her first where parents didn't stay. It was at my neighbors house and they took the kids for pizza and arcade games. My baby is growing up
). Anywho, I went and browsed all the end caps for bargains and I did manage to find a few. Not all Christmas related, but I got a few things.
Got DD the slide for her zhu zhu pets (not on sale, but went ahead and grabbed it). Got her some Scooby Doo silly bands for her stocking. Also got her a bathingsuit for next year on sale and 3 shorts & tanks outfits. All of which was marked down and each piece was under $3. Those won't be for Christmas but I'll put them away for next spring/summer.
Got DH a bathingsuit for $4.98. He's kinda picky on the style he likes and this was it, so I bought it.
I got myself some PJs, just boxer shorts and tank, but both on sale. Got myself some cute rain boots too. Not on sale, but I needed rain boots and they're cute
Also picked up these 2 big, heavy plastic red serving bowls. They were 98 cents each. Not sure when/if I'll need them, but I couldn't pass them up. They are nice deep bowls, for chips or whatever and I figured red would work for Christmas, Memorial Weekend, 4th of July...when/if the cook out mood strikes
So, while I didn't knock out much holiday shopping, I hit some good deals.
I do have a few questions. DD mentioned wanting a butterfly garden. They did this in her class last year. Grew the butterflies from caterpillar to butterfly and then released them. I found the kit online, but I'd like to avoid shipping. I didn't see anything like that at Target, so anyone seen any anywhere? I wonder if Toys R Us carries them in their science department. Her classes was a mesh round thing and her teacher mailed off for the caterpillars?
Also, I've been kicking around getting a Wii this year. DD is NOT a video game girl. We don't own any of the leapsters, DS things, etc. She's just not into them and has never asked for one. She'd rather play with her polly pockets and LPS, BUT, DH has mentioned it a few times, and I know DD has played some of the dance things and sports games over at friends houses, although she's never said she wants one here. BUT, as much as we were couped up last winter with all the snow, I thought it might come in handy and would keep us all active....tennis, bowling, dancing. So, after all that, I am wondering if I should buy the thing NOW and ask if I will be able to return it (only if something is wrong with it). I know Target's return policy is 90 days, but I wonder if places will extend it a little knowing it's for Christmas. I just want to take the chance of not being able to find one if I wait much longer?
And on that note, what are some good Wii game suggestions for a 7 year old girl (and 36year old man while we're at it
)
ETA: I did start working on my list of who I need to bake goodies for this year and even flipped through some of the recipes I've cut out since last holiday season!
to all our new friends!!! I love when the radio stations switch over to Christmas also....last year, for some reason, they switched one station over on NOV 1, instead of Thanksgiving day...I liked it,but I did hear complaints...hopefully they will do it again!!!!
And he told me where each should go and all about his Cars ornaments from last year. And he wants to see Santa so badly. He's been asking since May. He watches the Mickey christmas movies all the time, and won't let us take down our WDW advent calendar wreath.
